CPP Investments Announces Richard Manley Chief Sustainability Officer

John Graham, President & CEO, Canada Pension Plan Investment Board, announced the appointment of Richard Manley as Chief Sustainability Officer.

Among his responsibilities in this role, Manley will lead the further refinement and execution of a roadmap for CPP Investments to prudently navigate the global economy’s transition to address climate change.

“Sustainability remains a top priority of CPP Investments and placing Richard in this important leadership role will continue to advance our strategy and its implementation, particularly in regard to our net-zero commitment,” said Graham. “Our position on sustainability remains clear: we believe that organizations that effectively anticipate, manage and integrate sustainability-related factors that are material to their businesses are more likely to endure and create value over the long term. I am pleased that Richard will carry forward our efforts to maximize value by building and growing a portfolio with a focus on long-term performance.”
